Guys,

I probably haven't worded my title very well but basically I'm asking if its possible to prevent users from still logging on (albeit with limited functionality) if there isn't a network connection available, if the server is down for example? I'd like to stop users logging on...

Is there anything in group policy I could use :D
 
What KIA said basically. Windows caches user credentials, 10 by default for if a domain controller is unreachable. Obviously this is useful for laptops and portable devices which aren't always on the network, but on an internal network many security guides recommend disabling cached credentials.

Is there a reason you are looking to disable this?
 
At the moment when users logon and there is a connection available (server up etc) they are limited by group policy however if a user tries logging on without the server up or a network cable out etc, they can still login and don't appear to be controlled by the gp? I was googling at work and I found the setting in group policy but I can't seem to find it now :confused:
